The Atom Builder

This chemistry teaching software is an exceptional program that provides students with the opportunity to simulate the building of the first 20 atoms, up until calcium, on screen. The program is designed to offer an interactive learning experience that enables students to better understand the formation of atoms from electrons, protons, and neutrons. Furthermore, students can learn about the arrangement of electrons in shells or energy levels.

The software includes a reference section that students can access to support their learning with basic facts and information. With a full site license provided, the software is easily accessible, making it an excellent tool to use for teaching, revision, and demonstrations.

Teachers can use the software as a demonstration tool, using a projector to showcase the simulations to the entire classroom. Alternatively, students can access the reference section before attempting the simulation, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Lastly, the software can be used as a revision tool to prepare for tests or exams, making it a valuable asset to any chemistry classroom.
